What's on the 2011 exam?
The only honest answer to this is "nobody knows". You may hear rumours about what might be on the paper based on past papers and "whats due this year", but the truth is that all this is just speculation. In order to be properly prepared for the exam, all topics in the Accounting Sylabus should be studied. However, for higher level accounting, you should certainly look at the following topics at a minimum: Final Accounts of a Company, Manufacturing Account, Interpretation of Accounts, Incomplete Records (A and B), Cashflow Statement, Published Accounts, All Question 8 options OR All Question 9 options.
What if I get a figure wrong at the start (or in the middle) of the question?
Don't worry! A lot of students worry that if they do not get the question balanced or if they make a mistake at the start, that they will fail or do very badly. This is NOT THE CASE. The marking scheme is drawn up to ensure that you are rewarded for what you get correct, so even though your account won't balance or you have a mistake that changes all your sub-totals, you can still do very well in this subject.
